Hi,
It is some wool work that I am posting today.
Wool work, especially crocheting, is so very convenient... You aren't tied to a place as is the case when you stitch, or do beading, or any other work... While crocheting, you can sit anywhere, comfortably... you can even crochet on the move... and it is not like you have to keep your eyes stuck on the work you are doing... Just when you start a new stitch, or a new row, you may have to pay good attention... after that, it almost becomes sort of automatic... You have to be focussed, but then again, you don't have to be... Crocheting is creativity + relaxation... almost meditative...
Well, I need just one more thing to go with a ball of yarn and a crochet hook.... A cup (make it a larrrrrge one, please) of hot coffee..... that's just a perfect combination.... made in heaven.... :-)
Actually, for me, any work I love (including reading) + coffee would spell 'divine'...
Now for the wool works....
This is the sweater, more of an overcoat without sleeves, made for my brother's little princess... her second one I crocheted (have posted earlier the first one, of orange and white yarn, complete with a beanie to match).
The yarn is the same I used earlier for a poncho for my daughter when she was little...This is soft wool in beautiful, soft pastel shades (Red Heart Soft Baby Steps multicoloured yarn)... Made 26 granny squareswith it, and added a single row edging to each with pale baby pink yarn.
The granny squares were crocheted together with the same pink yarn. For a right and a left hand side piece, used 5 pieces for the front +5 squares for the back, each. And then there are 3 pieces at the side, joining the front to the back. That made it 13 pieces on each side.The picture given below will make it easy to understand... the back of the sweater is a single large rectangle connecting the right and left side pieces. In the front, added two flaps, and gave a pink edging to the neckline then.

There was something missing. My pretty lady said it looked too simple and needed some embellishment... So, decided on a crocheted flower in pink.... made a simple one for the sweater. With the multicoloured yarn, made an ear warmer to match, and added a flower to that as well....
The set was complete... and I was satisfied with the end product... But there was some more yarn left... not too little, not too much... Just enough for a small scarf... So made one for my sister and added tassles with the pink yarn to its ends...
Perfect... Another work completed.... The little one was so very happy that she was all smiles.... jumping and dancing with joy when she tried it on... What more can one ask for... :-)
Bye, then...
Take care.
